What My Calendar Looks Like When My Hormones Don't Cooperate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I live with PMOS/PCOS, and I’ve stopped pretending my plans and my body are on speaking terms. My calendar stopped being a list of things to do and became a record of how I’m actually doing. Energy, symptoms, recovery days, and the promises I make to myself to slow down. I leave gaps between commitments now, because I can’t predict which version of me will show up to them. Sometimes I plan a great weekend and spend it negotiating with fatigue and a brain that won’t focus. Sometimes I get everyth
being a virgo without apologizing for it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
dear me,it’s virgo season. you are a virgo and most of your life, you’ve probably treated things like something you constantly needed to explain: too selective, too direct, too observant, too sensitive to details, too much in your head, too hard on yourself, too careful. you notice things other people seem comfortable overlooking. you notice when someone’s tone changes, when there’s a pause before an answer, when a person says one thing and does another, the silence that lasts a little long, the

A lot, actually.I’d been looking forward to it all week. I missed my friends. The bond, the quirks, the jokes, the drama, the stories we’ve told so many times we already know where the other person will laugh. But a lot has changed. Not just since I left the corporate world.

Don't Let The Algorithm Choose Who You Become. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever found yourself wondering when you last discovered a desire completely on your own?Not because it was recommended to you or simply showed up on your feed or someone you follow told you it was worth knowing. I mean something you’re curious about or an idea you couldn’t let go of, so you went looking for answer yourself because you wanted to understand it.I have a feeling that, for a lot of us, we’re introduced to so many things now that we barely notice how rarely we go looking for s
